Skunk Removal & Control in Michigan
Is a nuisance skunk wreaking havoc on your property? From lingering odors to destroyed lawns, we provide safe, humane, and effective skunk relocation services.
Common Signs of a Skunk Infestation
Lawn Damage- Distinct "cone-shaped" holes from skunks digging for grubs and insects.
Structural Nesting- Burrows found under decks, porches, or concrete slabs.
Pet Encounters- Defensive spraying of dogs or cats (skunks can spray up to 10 feet!).
Foraging- Overturned garbage cans and scavenged food waste.
Our Professional Skunk Solutions
We specialize in humane trapping and relocation to ensure the animal is moved safely away from your home.
Strategic Trapping- We set professional-grade live traps using high-draw baits like tuna and eggs.
Night-Ops Capture- Since skunks are nocturnal, we monitor traps to ensure a quick and stress-free removal.
Damage Repair- We offer advice on "skunk-proofing" your deck or porch to prevent future dens.
Pro-Tip: DIY Odor Neutralizer If your pet or porch has been sprayed, mix 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, ยผ cup baking soda, and 1 tsp liquid dish soap. Apply immediately to neutralize the scentโdo not store this mixture in a closed container!

Our Service Policy
At Michigan Wildlife Solutions, our priority is providing humane, effective, and timely service. To do this, we must sometimes make tough choices about the jobs we accept.
- High-Demand Seasons- During our busiest times, such as peak exclusion seasons, we may not be able to take on new animal trapping jobs to ensure we can properly serve our current clients.
- Availability and Staffing- Wildlife issues don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Effective, humane removal requires a full-time commitment, which is why we're dedicated to being available seven days a week. Like many businesses, our ability to respond quickly can be impacted by staffing shortages.
- Legal Compliance- We strictly follow all laws and regulations set by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Feel free to reach out to us any day of the week to check on our availability in your area.
